Castle Rock Mayor Pro Tem Kevin Bracken was reelected to a second four-year term on council last week.

Bracken will continue serving in District 3.

Bracken defeated Dean Legatski with more nearly 55% of the total votes, according to the unofficial results.

Mayor Jason Gray will also be seated to a new term, running unopposed in the city’s lead seat.

In District 5, incumbent councilmember Caryn Johnson was

defeated by newcomer Max Brooks, who garnered more than 55% of the votes. Brooks also defeated Caryn Ann Harlos.

Bracken and Legatski have had differences in the campaign over numerous issues such as growth and how much power the town’s nonelected Design Review Board has in deciding downtown developemnt.

EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As home prices in the counties around Denver shot up over the last decade, tens of thousands of residents argued officials incorrectly estimated the values of homes and other properties. They demanded their taxes be reduced.

But that trend, practically a rite in some regions, reversed in recent years. Challenges filed with county assessors declined as homeowners apparently acknowledged the rising cost of real estate.

“People today understand that values have been going up dramatically,” said Scot Kersgaard, the Jefferson County assessor. “Day after day, week after week, it’s been in the newspaper constantly.”

The news is also on websites, like Zillow, Redfin and Trulia, which track the value of homes.

But the last word on the value of

Douglas County School District’s $60 million mill levy override and $450 million bond questions failed in the 2022 election.

The mill levy override would have gone toward making staff compensation more competitive, with the average teacher to see a 9% salary increase. The bond money would have been used to build three new elementary schools, on top of maintaining and improving other district buildings.

At the Invest in DCSD watch party on Nov. 8 in Highlands Ranch, Superintendent Erin Kane said the results were not what she was hoping for, but was optimistic about the support shown by voters.

Laydon looks to second term with optimism

Wildfire prevention

In the post-election interview, Laydon said wildfire prevention is on the top of his list of priorities.

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.

After being elected to a second term, Abe Laydon, who represents District 1 on the Douglas County Board of Commissioners, said there is plenty of work to do in a variety of areas from wildfire mitigation to addressing homelessness and affordable housing.

It was no surprise that Laydon won in the heavily favored Republican county. Laydon defeated Democrat Kari Solberg with about 57% of the vote.

In congratulating Laydon for his victory, Solberg said she hopes he and fellow commissioners Lora Thomas and George Teal will remain focused on what is best for Douglas County both now and long term.

“I am humbled and honored to have been on the ballot for Douglas County commissioner and while I didn’t get the ultimate results I had hoped for, I am so encouraged by the results across the county,” Solberg said. “Our voter registration numbers indicate we are a purple county, and it will not be long before our election results really show that. I look forward to that day as it will be the beginning of us all working together for what’s in the best interest of all of Douglas County.”

Wildfire mitigation, prevention and management became a major concern for counties across the state after last year when the Marshall Fire devastated part of Boulder County, becoming the most destructive fire in Colorado history.

Laydon said commissioners have spent a lot of time talking about how to take a community approach to wildfire protection and talk and identify true solutions.

In October, the county took a big step by creating an all-hands-ondeck simulation. The simulation presented the scenario just like what happened in the Marshall Fire. Fire departments across the county, police departments and emergency response teams gathered to test how prepared Douglas County currently is to handle a fire breaking out.

“Douglas County has a lot of square footage and properties,” Laydon said. “This was the largest emergency exercise in the history of the county.”

In a county where there is an average of 24 new residents a day, Laydon said these simulations help in addressing technology blips and correcting issues ahead of the possibility of the real thing.

Moving forward, Laydon said getting more residents signed up for CodeRED, an emergency notification app, and continuing to develop

strong aerial support for wildfires is going to help.

Coming out

In an election where he was favored to win in a heavily conservative county, Laydon took many by surprise in the month leading up to Election Day when he came out on Twitter.

On National Coming Out Day, Laydon said he is a member of the LGBTQ+ community.

Laydon’s Oct. 11 statement said he identifies as an aesthete, which he defines as appreciating and being drawn to “internal and external beauty in humans irrespective of gender.”

In the month after his announcement, Laydon said he is moved by the response and support he received. From Gov. Jared Polis taking time to voice support to emails thanking him, a choked-up Laydon said he never imagined the impact the announcement would have.

“I was pleasantly surprised, humbled and encouraged,” he said. “What was most meaningful was the private citizens sharing their stories. It was worth it after I heard all the support and stories.”

His timing of the announcement was questioned, but Laydon said there was no grand plan other than a teenager participating in Youth Congress making him want to speak up.

The teenager talked about having to wear a mask to hide his true self in the effort to be more accepted by

his peers.

Laydon said the teenager made him want to make sure his constituents were “voting for the real me.”

“I would rather lose than allow people to vote for a fake me. People know me and know how I vote,” he said. “Really, no one should have to talk about their private life in public.”

Weekly wins sheri race, Davis to be new clerk

BY NINA JOSS NJOSS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Along with state and municipal races, several county races were on the ballot for Douglas County voters. These races included selecting a new sheriff and a new clerk and recorder for the county.

While Arapahoe County races were decided along party lines for Democrats, in Douglas County races were handed to Republicans.

As early votes were tallied, it became clear quickly that Republican Darren Weekly would be elected as the county’s new sheriff. Weekly quickly declared victory.

In the clerk and recorder contest, Republican Sheri Davis also handily defeated her Democratic opponent.

Weekly was endorsed by current Sheriff Tony Spurlock. Spurlock reached his term limit after two consecutive four-year terms, first elected in 2015 and re-elected in 2018.

In the primary elections, Weekly beat out three other Republican party candidates with 34.48% of votes. Just behind him was John Anderson with 33.41% of votes.

Other candidates in the primary race included Holly Kluth, who is currenlty suing Spurlock, with 18.06% and Douglas County Commissioner Lora Thomas with 14.06%.

Parker approves downtown development deal

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Revitalizing downtown Parker continues to move forward as the town council voted 5-1 on Nov. 7 to approve a massive development agreement with Confluence Companies. The agreement involves the town selling six parcels of land that currently sit vacant along the downtown corridor.

As part of the deal, the council agreed to give Confluence, headquartered in Golden, $57.3 million in incentives over 30 years through property tax, sales tax sharebacks and public improvement fees.

Weldy Feazell, the director of the Parker Urban Renewal Authority, broke down the details of the agreement, which she described as a win-win for the town to turn a corner with the My Mainstreet project, a community effort to encourage the right growth in the right places downtown.

Feazell said the town has tried to sell the six parcels of land since 2018, with multiple deals falling through. Confluence Companies, she said, provides the best chance to make progress.

However, Feazell said the deal could not go through without public investment. Hiring a third-party financial firm to run a variety of

scenarios to see what is needed from the town to make the deal finanically feasible.

According to the GAP analysis, consultants concluded that the revitalization project is not financially feasible without public investment, recommending a financial gap com-

bination of property tax, sales tax shareback, public improvement fees and general investment.

Councilmember Cheryl Poage said while she is not against growth and progress, she took issue with how the process came to a vote. Poage said the council was made aware of the more than $50 million financial commitment on Oct. 31, with the public being told on Nov. 3.

Poage stressed there has been a lack of transparency with the public and moved to delay the final vote until January. Just before voting on her motion, the town’s legal staff warned council members that the deal had to be approved on Nov. 7 or it would become null and void.

Poage’s motion to delay failed 5-1.

After nearly three hours of discussion. Poage voted against the measure to approve the final development agreement, stressing again the public deserved more communication and citizens should vote on such a massive development.

Feazell stressed that taxes and fees do not come from current business owners or residents. Instead, the fees are all associated with the success of the property. As the land is developed and more businesses open and residents move in, more sales and property taxes will be generated to fund the project.

Confluence earned a reputation for leading downtown revitalization projects. Confluence is credited for changing the makeup of Castle Rock’s downtown with multiple mixed-use development projects that combined residential construction with the addition of retail, restaurant and office space.

On Nov. 7, Tony DeSimone, the founding member of Confluence, said his company will create a mixed-use development plan that will be unique to Parker and not just follow the same steps as Castle Rock.

To develop the six parcels of land, DeSimone estimated it would take up to 10 years and a commitment from his company of about $300

million.

The six parcels, including Pine Curve and space near the PACE Center, had an estimated value of nearly $17 million. The parcels and development plans for each include:

The property adjacent to the schoolhouse, .34 acres. The parcel will be developed into a 10,000-square-foot multistory development with retail and office space. 19801 E. Mainstreet, a lot at the corner of Victorian Drive and East Mainstreet, .9 acres. The space in front of PACE Center, 1.4 acres. The parcel will be developed into a 28,000-square-foot multistory development with retail and commercial space. East Main — The area west of Discovery Park and the library, 4.1 acres. The parcel will be a mixed-use, multi-story development containing 19,000 square feet of commercial retail space; 300 multiple-family dwelling units. Pine Curve — A large lot at the end of Mainstreet, 24 acres. The land will be developed into a mixture of two and four-story buildings that could include 154 apartment units, a 10acre park and an open buffer from the Parker Vista neighborhood.

Parker garage — Confluence will develop up to a four-story garage that will replace the current parking options at the PACE center.

Currently, Feazell said the vacant land collects zero tax dollars but the potential for more tax revenue as development moves forward would benefit the town.

To protect the town’s interest, the town’s legal team told council members there is an established schedule and standards Confluence will have to meet as the process moves forward. If Confluence fails to meet the standards, the town will get the land back.

Site plans and traffic studies have not yet been submitted. With the development agreement approval, designs and more definitive plans for each parcel will start being submitted next year.

Business owners, residents di er on downtown development

Town sells 6 parcels

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

During a Nov. 7 public hearing, business owners, real estate professionals and residents voiced a variety of opinions and concerns with the now-approved agreement to allow Confl uence Companies to develop downtown Parker.

In a 5-1 vote, the Parker Town Council approved a development agreement with Confl uence Companies to buy six parcels of land downtown, which will be turned into a variety of mixed-use development projects, including up to 520 residential units, offi ce space, restaurants and retail options.

T.J. Sullivan, president of the Parker Chamber of Commerce, said in representing about 450 offi cial members, the chamber supports the project.

Sullivan said downtown Parker needs more private commercial businesses and residential development on the parcels currently sitting vacant.

“We need a dynamic, daytime economy,” Sullivan said. “Right now we have nowhere for our businesses to go and grow. We have a town full of entrepreneurs and they need a place to allow

their dreams to take shape.”

Other business owners said increased daytime traffi c is vital to survival and Confl uence Companies can make that happen.

In the agreement with Confl uence, the town agreed to sell six parcels along the downtown corridor.

While business owners expressed support, many citizens spoke against the process of approving the agreement and how much traffi c the major revitalization project could add.

One resident, particularly angry about the Pine Curve portion of the development, asked when construction on that parcel would start, stating by then she would put her home up for sale and leave town.

In the past, residents fought against development on the 24acre lot known as Pine Curve. To address past resident concerns, town offi cials said Confl uence will be required to install a buffer.

Plans for Pine Curve, according to the development agreement, include a variety of two- and four-story buildings that could include up to 154 apartment and residential units and up to 34,000 square feet of commercial and retail space.

Albert Thompson, a 28-year resident, said he doesn’t like the plan

being approved before any traffi c studies, especially if more apartments and residential units are included in the plan.

Thompson and other residents also voiced concern with the amount of information provided to the public ahead of the Nov. 7 approval meeting. According to Councilmember Cheryl Poage, the council learned about the $57 million in public investment required

for the agreement on Oct. 31. The information was made available to the public on Nov. 3.

Longtime resident Joy Overbeck said there is a lot she likes about the project, but disagreed with paying the development a lot of money in incentives to make sure they reach a 17% return on investment.

“This is not a sale contract,” she said. “This is just a giveaway.”

Children facing early, intense respiratory virus season

Health o cials concerned

BY JENNIFER BROWN THE COLORADO SUN

An alarming number of Colorado children with the respiratory virus called RSV are filling emergency rooms and intensive care beds as the state experiences an “early and intense” start to the flu season, state health officials and Children’s Hospital Colorado warned.

“It’s truly like nothing we’ve ever seen before at Children’s Hospital Colorado,” said Dr. Kevin Carney, a pediatric emergency physician and Children’s associate chief medical officer.

The hospital’s in-patient and ICU beds across the state are operating at or above maximum capacity, and emergency room and urgent care visits for respiratory illness are 30% higher than the busiest days of a normal flu season, which typically runs January through March.

Children’s is now postponing surgeries and other procedures in order to have the staff and space to treat children with RSV, the flu and COVID-19, he said.

Statewide, there’s a shortage of available pediatric intensive care beds, according to state health department officials who joined Children’s Hospital for a news conference. The number of available pediatric beds has hovered between zero and 5 the last several weeks, instead of the typical average of 22 open beds.

Children’s Hospital and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment held the news conference to warn parents and urge vaccinations after watching levels, especially for RSV, spike in recent weeks.

“What’s different this year is how early and severe this reference respiratory season has been for the children in our community,” Carney

improve traffic safety and increase council accessibility.

“This morning I just posted my phone number on Facebook so that I can continue to help the residents of Castle Rock and continue to make Castle Rock a great town to live in,” he said.

Bracken said he looks forward to working with Brooks, who he said has been dedicated to Castle Rock.

In District 5, Brooks will be a first-term council member after serving on several town boards. Johnson was elected to council in 2018.

Like District 3, the three candidates campaigned on how they would handle growth and development as the town’s population has exploded over the last decade with more homes and people expected to come in the future.

On the phone with Colorado Community Media on election night, Brooks said he was feel-

ing confident about the results of the race and thanked the other candidates for a good race, as well as acknowledged Johnson’s service for the last four years.

“I’m feeling that the hard work that was put into this campaign is paying off,” Brooks said.

Brooks said he plans to focus on restoring communication between the council and residents, as well as discussing water conservation, homelessness and affordable housing.

In a statement, Johnson thanked residents, family and friends for their support over the past four years and said she would continue to be engaged in helping Castle Rock in other ways.

“I’m proud of what I was able to accomplish representing District 5 on Town Council these last four years,” Johnson said. “I succeeded in my goal of moving the needle of the Town Council from full support of developers to requesting more for our community from developers.”

Winners in the race will be sworn in for the new term on Dec. 6.

Coloradans vote to cut income taxes, limit liquor chains

BY MARK HARDEN ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

Coloradans gave themselves a tax break in the Nov. 8 election, while also blocking a proposal to let liquor-store operators add more locations.

Voters also agreed to raise taxes on high-income Coloradans to support free school meals, refused to relax rules for charity bingo games and raffles, and expanded property tax exemptions for the surviving spouses of fallen military service members.

By nearly a 2-1 margin, Colorado voters approved Proposition 121, reducing the state income tax rate from 4.55% to 4.4%. The measure is projected to reduce state tax revenue by $412.6 million, a cut of about 2.4% to the state’s general fund, while saving the average Colorado taxpayer $119 in fiscal-year 2023-24.

And nearly two-thirds of voters opposed Proposition 124, which would have let retail liquor chains grow from a limit of three stores statewide now to a maximum of eight, and then to 13 in 2027, 20 in 2032 and an unlimited number in 2037. Under existing

VIRUS

said. “Our emergency departments are seeing a record volume of patients.”

While RSV, which stands for respiratory syncytial virus, causes mild symptoms in most people, it can cause severe illness or even death in young children and older adults. Of the 554 people who have been hospitalized in the Denver area in the last few weeks, 95% were children. Health officials have counted 144 outbreaks statewide at schools and child care centers.

Infants and children under age 2 are most at risk for dangerous cases of RSV, as are people over age 65 or with lung issues. Colorado is seeing “unprecedented levels” of RSV transmission, said state epidemiologist Dr. Rachel Herlihy.

She asked people to get vaccinated, both for the flu and COVID-19, and to stay home if they are sick, even with mild symptoms.

“A mild infection in me or you can translate to a life-threatening infection to a young child or an older adult,” she said.

The flu, COVID and RSV are all different illnesses, but it’s possibly for people to have more than one at the same time. The symptoms of RSV are runny nose, decrease in appetite, coughing, sneezing, fever and wheezing, which can make it difficult for parents to tell the difference between RSV, the flu and COVID.

The COVID-19 pandemic “disrupted” regular patterns for the respiratory virus season, pushing it back to early fall rather than winter. While the reasons aren’t entirely understood, it’s partly due to the health precautions taken during the pandemic —including isolation

law, liquor chains will be allowed a four-store maximum in 2027 but not more. The Colorado Licensed Beverage Association, representing independent liquor stores,had saidProp 124 would let big chains drive its members out of business.

and masks — that also suppressed transmission of other respiratory illnesses, Herlihy said.

Health officials are seeing RSV spread during the summer and increase in the fall, and last year, saw an uptick in flu transmission late into the spring — both unusual timelines, she said.

“We really don’t fully understand, but it’s very clear that the pandemic has been disruptive to how these viruses are spread and when they’re spread,” Herlihy said.

Hospitalization numbers for influenza are still lower than typical peak levels, but they are higher at this point in the season than the most severe flu season on record in Colorado, which was in 2017-18, she said. Health officials said they are unsure when the illness might peak.

The number of doses of influenza vaccine given this year in Colorado are on par with 2021, but lower than 2020 levels, said Scott Bookman, director of public health response for the state health department.

“So we do have an opportunity here to increase our influenza vaccination rates as we head into this flu season,” he said.

Children’s Hospital officials encouraged parents to first check with their pediatrician if they are unsure whether their child needs to go to the emergency room. The state health department, meanwhile, is spreading word about the uptick in RSV and flu to schools, preschools and child care facilities.

Voters approve free school meals program

BY ERICA BREUNLIN THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado public school students will have access to free school meals after voters approved Proposition FF on Nov. 8, slashing tax breaks for households that earn more than $300,000 in federal adjusted gross income starting in tax year 2023 to help pay for a new school meals program.

The measure passed with more than 55% of voters approving it.

The success of the measure means that all kids in public schools, no matter their family’s income, will be able to eat free school breakfasts and lunches, reflecting the critical role schools play in helping students facing food insecurity. The state’s new school meals program — the Healthy School Meals for All program — will take the place of a federal initiative that provided free meals to all kids through the first two years of the pandemic.

“This is a win for our fight against childhood hunger,” said Ashley Wheeland, director of public policy for Hunger Free Colorado, a nonprofit that helps people struggling with hunger. “Many more children that need food will now have access to it with their learning, and this is something that we’ve needed for a long time.”

The demand for food assistance swelled during the pandemic, with 68,000 more Colorado kids participating in school lunch programs supported by federal funds, said Wheeland, whose organization has supported the ballot measure since it was first referred by Democrats in the Colorado legislature this year through the passage of House Bill 1414. This school year, with the federal initiative no longer in place, school meals are reaching fewer students, she said.

Proposition FF will limit the amount that households earning more than $300,000 can claim in state income tax deductions to cover many of the costs of the new school meals program. It will also require school meal providers to

bursements to help ease program costs for the state.

The restriction will impact a taxpayer’s standard deduction or itemized deductions, which include charitable contributions, state and local taxes and mortgage interest.

Taxpayers who make more than $300,000 will be able to deduct no more than $12,000 for single filers and no more than $16,000 for joint filers. Currently, taxpayers who earn more than $400,000 can claim a maximum of $60,000 in state income tax deductions for a joint filer and a maximum of $30,000 for a single filer, caps that were passed under House Bill 1311. Taxpayers whose income is between $300,000 and $400,000 are not limited in how much they can deduct from their state taxable income.

Proposition FF will increase income tax revenue in the state by an estimated $100.7 million during the first full year of the tax change, fiscal year 2023-24, which begins on July 1, 2023.

School meal providers will be reimbursed for providing meals to all kids, and any school meal

serve one or more school districts or charter schools. Currently, 183 school meal providers serve kids throughout the state and cover the costs of providing free and reducedprice lunches with state and federal funds and by charging families whose income exceeds federal poverty levels. Students might qualify for free or reduced-price meals, depending on their household income, but Colorado students who are eligible for reduced-price meals get free meals instead because the state funds their portion of the meal cost.

Denver resident Noah Hayden, 25, voted in favor of Proposition FF so that all students have enough to eat while trying to learn.

Hayden, an unaffiliated voter, teaches social studies at a charter school in Broomfield, and while most of his students come from families who can afford meals, he knows not all kids have the same resources.

“I just think it’s better that every kid is always ensured a lunch throughout the day,” Hayden said after voting at ReelWorks Denver

Joey Chester, 30, an unaffiliated voter from Westminster, came to the polls with at least one thing in mind: school lunches.

Chester, who grew up in Aurora, voted “yes” on Proposition FF. He said he sees hope in the proposition.

“When I grew up, my mom gave us 40 bucks a month for school lunches, and I got lazy and would just burn it out and then have to make my own lunch finally for the rest of the year. I knew kids that didn’t always get meals, and I know things have gotten worse,” Chester said.

He added: “I hope it’s going to pass and the people that it’s going to tax are not going to be whiny about it.”

Plan will reduce tax breaks for wealthy

with voters) in May and in this economy, we moved all the way to 48%,” Kane said of the mill levy override that would have increased teacher pay.

Kane said the failing funding questions don’t put the district in dire financial straights, but it does keep the district from being competitive on pay and meeting growth demands for at least the next year.

Kane said the district will need to be able to make staff compensation more competitive and build new schools, so she imagines bond and mill levy override questions will be on the ballot again next year.

“I’m going to do everything I can to take care of our staff, to take care of our people and get us through the next 12 months while we talk to voters,”

Kane said. “This is only the beginning.”

Kane also thanked Christa Gilstrap, who co-founded Invest in DSCD, the political issue committee that supported the bond and mill levy override, and all of the parents, staff and individuals who volunteered to campaign for the funding questions.

Douglas County School Board member Mike Peterson said the school board will debrief about the election at the board’s Nov. 30 retreat to consider next steps, particularly when it comes to the district’s need for new schools in the growing neighborhoods of Sterling Ranch, Crystal Valley and the Canyons.

“We will look at coming back for another bond because we cannot go through what we went through the years of 2006 to 2018, going 12 years without passing a bond,” Peterson said.

The last time voters approved a bond for Douglas County schools was in 2018.

Republicans have to wait for 2026 for shot at power

No statewide o ces up for grabs

BY JESSE PAUL, DELANEY NELSON AND SANDRA FISH THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado Republicans were shellacked on Election Night, which means, starting next year, the GOP will no longer have any statewide elected officials. And the party will have to wait until 2026 before they get a chance to change that.

That’s because there are no statewide offices up for reelection in 2024.

Additionally, the GOP is on track to fall even further into the minority in the Colorado Senate — so far so that they won’t realistically have a shot at taking back the chamber in 2024. A Republican majority in the Colorado House is also largely seen as out of reach for the foreseeable future.

Democrats have never held this level of sustained power at the state or congressional levels in Colorado.

“It’s just super depressing if you’re a Republican,” said George Brauchler, a conservative talk radio host who ran unsuccessfully for attorney general in 2018. He called his party’s 2022 losses “epic.”

Brauchler spoke to The Sun on Election Night at the Colorado GOP’s watch party at the DoubleTree Hotel in Greenwood Village, which was perhaps the saddest place in the state. It was not even 10 p.m. when the ballroom had almost fully cleared out, following concession speeches from U.S. Senate candidate Joe O’Dea, secretary of state candidate Pam Anderson, treasurer candidate Lang Sias and John Kellner, who ran for attorney general.

A band played Elvis Presley’s “Hound Dog” to an audience of mostly reporters busy digesting the GOP’s stunning defeats.

“The outcome is a tough pill to swallow,” O’Dea said in his concession speech to a hushed crowd at

about 8:30 p.m., when early returns showed him trailing Democratic U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet by 18 percentage points. “But that’s life in the big city.”

O’Dea, a first-time candidate and Denver construction company owner, ran as a moderate in the hopes of winning over voters in a state moving increasingly toward Democrats. It didn’t work — in a big way. (O’Dea was trailing Bennet by 12 percentage points by the next morning.)

Heidi Ganahl, a University of Colorado regent who was the only statewide elected Republican, lost her bid to unseat Democratic Gov. Jared Polis. The contest was called by Fox News, playing in the DoubleTree ballroom, minutes after the polls closed. Ganahl was trailing Polis by 18 percentage points the next morning.

Former state Sen. Greg Brophy, an Eastern Plains Republican, was predicting a good night for

Republicans heading into Election Day. The next morning he was in disbelief.

“I’m blown away,” he said. “In shock.”

Kristi Burton Brown, chairwoman of the Colorado GOP, said the results show where Colorado “really is” politically “and whether or not Colorado has become a state more like Washington or California.”

Republicans, she said, will now have to focus district by district on legislative races and on local elections — school board, mayoral and city council contests, for example — until they get another shot at statewide office. U.S. House races, which are decided every two years, will also be a major focus for the party.

“If it’s district by district,” she said, “we’ll go fight district by district.”

Burton Brown said the GOP’s next big focus will be in Aurora, where they hope to keep a Republican in the mayor’s office in Mike Coffman and a GOP majority on the City Council. (Aurora’s municipal races are technically nonpartisan.)

And then there’s the 2024 presidential race. But no Republican presidential candidate has won in Colorado since George W. Bush in 2004.

In the Colorado Senate, where Republicans hoped to win a major-

ity and be able to stop Democratic Gov. Jared Polis’ agenda, the GOP needed to win six of seven competitive races this year to secure the gavel. By the following morning, they were losing in all seven races. While Republicans were hoping to ultimately win in a few of the seven districts once the vote count was complete, the party was bracing for the reality that they may fail in all of the races.

If Democrats ultimately prevail in the seven competitive contests, the party’s majority will expand to 23-12 from 21-14. There are only two Democratic seats the party is at a real risk of losing in 2024, which means their future majority doesn’t appear in doubt until at least 2027.

Republicans may have lost seats in the House his year, as well, where they were already outnumbered by Democrats 41-24.

“We as a party have self-imploded in Colorado,” Ben Engen, a Republican political consultant and data analyst, said Nov. 9, the day after Election Day.

those homes, as far as the govern ment is concerned, belongs to Kersgaard’s office. His office deter mines how much homeowners will owe government entities in taxes.

For years, rises in those taxes have led to lines at county offices and stacks of filings as property owners submit protests against as sessors’ valuations.

In 2013, Jefferson County saw about 5,700 protests. That number reached about 11,200 in 2017, but fell to 7,200 in 2021.

Acceptance of the realities of rising prices is a theory as to why protests are declining. Kersgaard said local policies to make more information accessible could have played a role.

“In Jeffco, we’ve done things that have been designed frankly to reduce (protests),” Kersgaard said.

But the trend seen in Jefferson County is mirrored in the other counties surrounding Denver, according to annual reports from the state Division of Property Taxation.

In Adams County, there were about 2,600 protests in 2013, 11,200 in 2017 and 6,000 in 2021.

In Arapahoe County, there were about 4,800 protests in 2013, 9,200 in 2019 and 4,700 in 2021.

In Douglas County, there were about 5,200 protests in 2013, 7,200 in 2019 and 4,700 in 2021.

It is unclear exactly what is driv ing recent declines in protests.

The idea that property owners are more resigned to the realities of the real estate market is a common one.

“The real estate market is on fire,” said Corbin Sakdol, a former Arapahoe County assessor and executive director of the Colorado Assessors’ Association.

‘Agnostic about taxes’

Another factor could be ap proach. Kersgaard said when he came into office, he told his staff not to be lenient with protests.

“What I tell them is if we get the value right, defend the (protest),” Kersgaard said. “Don’t just give them something so they go away. If we’re wrong, grant it.”

The staff was “delighted that I had their back,”he added.

Kersgaard estimates that around 3%-5% of people file appeals in any given year. If an assessor’s office grants an appeal that isn’t justified, “then you’re punish ing the other 95% of people who didn’t file appeals.”

A slightly higher share of the tax burden would fall on those who didn’t get a break in taxes, he

added.

Kersgaard is a Democrat, a party that’s often accused by Republi cans of being pro-taxation. But he said party politics don’t drive his work.

“I tell people when I’m cam paigning, ‘Yes. I’m a Democrat, but when I walk into the office I become a technocrat,’” Kersgaard said.

He said the process is intri cate. Local bodies, such as school districts, are able to establish tax rates, but assessors must deter mine the fair values of the proper ties that rates are applied to.

“I’m totally agnostic about taxes,” he said.

Sakdol, the former Arapahoe County assessor, served as a Republican. He thinks Democrats and Republicans tend to handle assessment protests the same way.

“My experience with asses sors across the state of Colorado, they’re most interested in making sure the value is correct,” Sakdol said.

Sakdol’s successor, PK Kaiser, a Democrat who took office in 2019, also said politics don’t drive as sessments.

“We look at the protest and see what information is provided and reject (or) adjust the values based on the information provided,” said Kaiser, who was on track to win reelection by a large margin as of Nov. 10.

Gary Salter, a 60-year-old homeowner in unincorporated Jefferson County south of Lake wood, bought his home in 1999. He remembers filing six or seven protests since the early 2000s.

“They lowered (the value) every single time,” said Salter, who has noticed no differences across as sessors.

New tech may help understand ing

During Kersgaard’s term, the Jefferson assessor office updated its website so people can view a map that shows recent property sales in their neighborhoods and see how they compare to their own houses. His office made the upgrade around early 2021.

Kersgaard guessed that type of technology may be a reason why some Denver metro counties have seen protests decline.

“People can look at their house and look at the other houses that are sold in their neighborhood and go, ‘Wow, we’re not actually overvalued,’” Kersgaard said.

Kaiser’s office in Arapahoe also created a map online so people can see how assessed property values have changed near where they live or in other areas.

But given that the decline in protests has occurred in so many counties, “some of it is just driven

by the market” and that people today may better understand that home prices have been rising dra matically, Kersgaard said.

Since the start of 2010 — when the median single-family home price in metro Denver was about $200,000 — the median price has roughly tripled, according to a report by the Colorado Associa tion of Realtors based on data as of this August. Statewide, it had tripled as well, according to the association.

Are politics at play?

Some Jefferson County protests arise simply because people are unhappy that their taxes are so high, said Kersgaard, who took office in 2019. (He was also on track to win reelection by a large margin as of Nov. 10.)

The public often doesn’t under stand the assessor doesn’t decide tax rates.

The assessor’s job is to establish accurate values of all properties — residential, commercial, agri cultural, vacant land and more — in his or her county, a process meant to ensure that the amount of taxes property owners pay is fair and equitable.

Property taxes partly fund county governments, but they also fund school districts, fire and library districts, other local enti ties, and cities and towns.

Unless residents “go to their fire district meeting and their school board meeting and their county commissioners, they really don’t have any recourse,” Kersgaard said.

Another confusing wrinkle: Assessors’ offices do their work based on the value of properties as of June 30 of the prior year — they don’t report those values until the following May.

So the assessed value a home owner receives isn’t based on the property’s current value, Sakdol said.

Assessor’s offices look at sale prices of homes in the same area to determine the value for a given property, Sakdol said.

Protests could swing back up Rising home prices amid the economic disruption of the CO VID-19 pandemic could be inform ing homeowners about market trends, Kersgaard said.

“They’ll see it’s not just the assessor’s office that says their value is going up,” Kersgaard said.

Kersgaard acknowledges the im pact of higher assessed values can hit some people hard, like retirees on fixed incomes.

And while home prices might see a slowdown, increases from the assessors office may still be on the upswing. That’s because valu ations from assessors are based on data that lags roughly by a year, Sakdol said.

“They’re looking at what was the value of your property as of June 30, 2022,” Sakdol said. “However, they don’t report those values until May 2023.”

That means assessors could be busy next year as homeowners attempt to control those costs through protests.

VOICES

The analysis begins

The elections are over. I may have shed a little tear of happiness knowing the ads on television, in print and invading my mailbox will now stop.

EDITOR’S COLUMN

Now, it’s time to overanalyze why the results are what they are. In Douglas County, results are not too big of a shock, but is there starting to be a bit of a blue ripple in Highlands Ranch? After all, as current counts stand, Democrat Bob Marshall looks to be heading to represent District 43 in the state House of Representatives.

Is a Democratic invasion coming? Or, is it just a blip and all order will be restored in 2024?

In Littleton, will housing become a struggle with every new proposal? Judging by the results, tensions are high, and they may remain so in the near future.

Throughout each county and community, getting new taxes approved surely looks to be a tough sell at every level. Schools do not just get a yes vote anymore. Lodging taxes even failed in Centennial.

In looking at local, metro races, there is one message that is clear — people want open space and will pass whatever you ask them to in order to preserve it.

Now, looking beyond our metro communities, I am fascinated by the impact unaffiliated voters are starting to have on elections in Colorado and nationwide. I look at unaffiliated voters as those who no longer want to be affiliated with either party.

As an unaffiliated voter myself, I am disgusted with both parties and will not align with either one. I originally switched years ago because I am a journalist who started covering politics. However, I am so glad I did change years ago because I love being in the middle.

Looking at Colorado election numbers provided by the Secretary of State’s Office, of the more than 3.8 million registered voters in the state, just over 45% of them are unaffiliated.

According to a Colorado Sun report in July, unaffiliated voters had a big impact on primary election outcomes. According to the article, more than 231,000 unaffiliated voters cast Republican primary ballots this year, about 100,000 more than chose to vote in the GOP primary in 2020 and 130,000 more than voted in the 2018 GOP primary.

The strategy in the primary was obvious – get out the candidates who are over-the-top. Tina Peters is a great example. The primary results paved the way for Pam Anderson, who was sensible and a good candidate to run for the state’s election office.

According to numbers from the general election, 2.4 million Colorado residents cast ballots in the recent election. Of those, 983,477 are unaffiliated, 742,429 are Democrat and 687,433 are Republican.

As future elections come into view, strategists are no longer going to be able to just cater to one side or the other. If Colorado continues to follow the path of 2022, the unaffiliated voter is going to require reason, solutions, and better engagement from candidates.

I hope the trends continue at the national level because at some point the two-party bickering and arguing has to stop. That also means maybe more unaffiliated candidates may have a chance in running for office.

Outnumbered but never out of the game

WINNING

They were a new and small startup consulting company. Having barely opened the doors of the business, they identified an opportunity where their specialized expertise could help find and deliver the solutions that a very large corporate prospect was looking for. Although they were new and small, their reputation in the industry was solid, and they were invited to compete for the business.

Three other organizations were also invited in to vie for the opportunity to possibly provide services to the prospective client. All three were well-established consulting companies and were coming to the table with decades of experience and proven track records of success. There was not much risk in choosing any of these three companies.

As the vetting process went on, the founders of the tiny startup still believed that they could absolutely provide the highest levels of service for the prospective client and were already starting to assemble a bench of potential independent contractors they would need should they be awarded the business.

They discussed the competition every week as the process went on, and they knew they were outnumbered and maybe even seen as outmatched because of the strong reputations of the three competitors.

Outnumbered and maybe outmatched, yet they were never out of the game.

When the prospect had made the announcement that they had narrowed the field down to two, the small startup was not shocked to find themselves in the final two. They truly believed that they could provide the client with exceptional service and work with them to deliver the desired results. Their final competitor was shocked that the prospect had selected the startup, and they became overconfident that they would win. This was a mistake.

In the final discovery, due diligence and sales presentations, the team from the startup showed up better prepared and presented comprehensive performance solutions that included a practical and tactical plan that made sense. The larger, more established, and wellknown and respected consulting company came in with overengineered and complicated plans, and plans that included very little in the way of tactical execution.

At the end of the process the prospective client awarded the business to the new and small startup because they felt like they had demonstrated that they had the client’s best interest at heart. Although they were new and small, they trusted them enough to assemble a team that could meet all expectations and deliverables. Outnumbered, perceived to be outmatched, but never out of the game.

When the executive team of this startup shared their reasons from why and how they won, I was so fired up and happy for them. I mean who doesn’t love a great underdog victory story? It had me reflecting on some of the situations where I found myself in the under-

In life, there are times where we all get to feeling a bit outnumbered and outmatched, so much so that we become uninspired or demotivated, believing we may have already lost. When this happens it can set us back or even completely derail us from completing something or competing for something that we were once very passionate about. What we should always remember is that it doesn’t matter if they seem bigger, better, faster or stronger than we are. No, what matters is how we show up and the size of our heart,

Traditionally, playing with food has a bad reputation, but the rising popularity of charcuterie boards is changing that by encouraging diners to get creative with endless mix-and-match options.

Part art project, part meal prep, charcuterie is typically a combination of cheeses, meats and crackers or bread, arranged on a shared plate, Chad Halbrook, general manager for Postino Winecafe on Broadway in Denver, said.

However, the growing love for charcuterie has also led to an expanded take on the term, with all sorts of spins offering a variety of finger foods and pairings, he noted.

Halbrook said charcuterie gained a lot of fans during the pandemic when restaurants were reduced to take-out and more people were cooking at home because it’s an option that’s quick, versatile and requires few kitchen skills.

“People wanted to spice up what they were snacking on at home, make it look good and not necessarily spend a lot of time cooking,” Halbrook said.

He said that charcuterie’s popularity also spikes during the holiday season for those same reasons.

“When we dine with friends, it’s a communal experience and there’s something that brings people together in conversation over a charcuterie board as opposed to individual entrees,” he said.

The demand for charcuterie resulted in the option popping up on restaurant menus all over the area, including several at Postino’s, as well as spawning classes on building boards and whole businesses dedicated to selling premade charcuterie for those not inclined to make their own.

Postino Winecafe, which has four locations in Denver and Highlands Ranch, o ers a variety of board appetizers that can be ordered for take out. Chad Halbrook, assistant manager for the Postino on Broadway, said the communal nature of charcuterie makes it a common choice for groups and parties.

Charcuterie is a popular choice for holiday events because it can be a quick and versatile option for any size group, whether as an appetizer or meal, Melissa Clement said.

In Castle Rock, one such business is Farmgirl Foods, a market that features local products, including charcuterie, and offers DIY classes. Owner Melissa Clement said she thinks the charcuterie boards and classes are so popular because it’s a fun and social activity, whether you’re making a spread or just eating it.

“People will get so excited when they learn how to make a prosciutto rose or taste something, whether it’s a combination of flavors or one particular product, that opens up their palate,” she said.

When Clement is putting together her charcuterie, she typically starts with opposing textures and flavors, like a savory creamy brie and candied walnuts. She likes to include a hard cheese, a soft cheese and a crumbly cheese alongside some dried or smoked meats, like salami, prosciutto or chorizo, as well as crackers, bread and toppings.

Toppings can range from fruits, veggies, nuts or chocolate to spreads like honey, jam, hummus or mustard, she said.

“You want all the flavors to play with each other,” Clement said. “I always like to do something smoky or spicy together with something sweet.”

Halbrook also noted that swapping out meat for more cheese or adding more alternative options

makes charcuterie easy to alter for a variety of diets and allergies. Similarly, Halbrook suggested making seasonal changes, such as adding in herbs, cranberries and oranges for winter spreads.

“It doesn’t always have to be meat and cheese,” he said. “You can do all sorts of things to please every person attending your holiday event or party. You can do veggie board for your vegan friends,

which allows you to really splash more color on the board.”

Both Halbrook and Clement recommend splurging on the cheese, since it’s the star of the spread, but noted charcuterie doesn’t have to be pricey. Clement suggests cutting down on the accouterments or using what’s already on hand.

For proportions, Clement said she plans around two ounces of each cheese and meat per person if serving as an appetizer, or up to 6 ounces of each food per person if it’s the main meal.

Halbrook added there’s no harm in starting with smaller amounts.

“There’s no shame in refilling or having a backup item,” he said.

As for styling the charcuterie in an Instagram-worthy way, Clement said she will start by laying out the bigger items so that she can design around them. One of her favorite tips is to top the board by sprinkling dried fruit or edible flowers on top.

Ultimately though, she said there are no set rules, and that’s what makes it fun.

“A lot of times I won’t do a flat board, I’ll do a tiered tray,” Clement said of the possibilities. “The No. 1 thing to remember is you can’t do it wrong, you really can’t.”

Still, for those that don’t want to spend the time to prep and build charcuterie, there are several businesses in the Denver metro area that offer pre-made charcuterie, including both Farmgirl Foods and Postino, which also has locations in Highlands Ranch, LoHi and at 9th and Colorado.

Melissa Clement, owner of Farmgirl Foods, a market in Castle Rock that o ers charcuterie boards and classes, said the finger food has been gaining fans thanks to the mix of creativity and socialization involved in eating or building one. At its basic level, charcuterie is a variety of cheeses, cured meats, bread or crackers and toppings.

SONYA’S SAMPLER

DFF45 stands as example of film’s wide reach

In many ways, there’s never been a better time to be a cinephile.

The combination of a rainbow of streaming services that cater to practically every interest and the return of in-theater screening means that it is almost scientifically impossible for you to not find something to watch. And in its 45th year, the Denver Film Festival highlighted its unerring ability to offer something for every taste.

From shorts and animation to searing dramas and eye-popping documentaries, the festival provided as diverse a swath of films as ever, all from top-notch facilities like the SIE FilmCenter and Ellie Caulkins Opera House.

“This festival is about bringing the very best in the filmmaking world and makers both behind and in front of the camera together,” said Kevin Smith, Denver Film CEO, on the festival’s opening night. “We know how important it is to experience these stories together because these are the stories that stick with us.”

During this year’s festival, I saw 7 films over 12 days — and as usual the festival’s selections all have things to recommend them. They all connect with the viewer, and all reflect the passions of their makers. Of those movies, here are my favorites:

COMING ATTRACTIONS

Second annual protecting what’s important award

‘All That Breathes’ Release date : 2023 on HBO

Once again, it is a nature documentary that takes my personal top prize for cinematography at the festival, and that film is “All That Breathes.”

Set in the smog-draped and rubbish-covered streets of New Delhi, the film follows a trio of healers dedicated to saving the kite birds of prey who are suffering mightily as a result of humans’ pollution. You can’t help but be moved by the subjects’ dedication, but the images captured by cinematographers Ben Bernhard, Riju Das and Saumyananda Sahi are absolutely breathtaking.

The way they spotlight how nature adapts amidst humankind’s detritus is stunning and surprisingly affecting. It’s a true treat for the eyes.

Biggest revival of faith in humanity

‘Butterfly in the Sky’ Release date: TBA

If you see the title “Butterfly in the sky…” and your mind doesn’t

finish with, “I can go twice as high,” then we are not the same.

As someone who has made a life (and at least part of a career) out of reading, there was almost no chance I wouldn’t dig Bradford Thomason and Brett Whitcomb’s love letter of a documentary to the landmark children’s program, “Reading Rainbow.” What I wasn’t expecting was the full depth of emotion I’d feel watching the film.

Much like the show itself, that is largely due to Levar Burton. His thoughtfulness, warmth and passion is impossible to deny. And you can see that same love in everyone who contributed to the show, from the creators and producers to former book reviewers and composers (a scene where original musician Steve Horelick recreates the opening notes of the theme is an alltimer). And special recognition to author Jason Reynolds, who nearly breaks your heart towards the film’s conclusion.

Those who are firm believers in the importance and power of reading or just need something to make them feel good will find so much to love in this film. It’s a true can’t-miss. But don’t take my word for it…

Most provocative film

‘How to Blow Up a Pipeline’

Release date: TBA

Those who enjoy some sub-

stance with their excitement will find lots to love in the whiteknuckle eco-thriller, “How to Blow Up a Pipeline.”

The film artfully blends the elements of classic heist films like “Thief” and “Ocean’s 11” with a searing indictment of the corporations who exploit the planet’s natural resources even though it is actively ruining the environment. A crew of young people gather in the desolate Texas desert to protest the destruction of the natural world by destroying an oil pipeline. The film cannily unspools its secrets and the character’s backstories as it races to its powerful conclusion.

The cast is exceptional and full of talented performers to keep an eye on (Ariela Barer, Kristine Froseth, Lukas Gage, Forrest Goodluck, Sasah Lane, Jayme Lawson, Marcus Scribner and Jakey Weary).

After the screening, director Daniel Goldhaber, co-writer Jordan Sjol and producer Isa Mazzei spoke about the film and the importance of telling relevant, subversive stories. We definitely need more of this kind of storytelling and the film is a great example of why.

Labyrinth theme inspires interpretations

Own an Original exhibit runs through end of year

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Littleton Museum’s gallery holds a varied collection of paintings and sculptures now through Dec. 31. It’s the 57th annual Own An Original exhibit, labeled a “thematic fine art competition” by the Littleton Fine Arts Board. It was open to artists working in any medium except photography and the theme chosen by the board was “Labyrinth.”

The exhibit includes 35 paintings and sculptures, selected by juror Molly Casey of Nine Dot Arts, a consultant and curator who advises clients about collecting art. She and her business partner have offices in Denver and elsewhere and contacts with thousands of artists in the U.S. and internationally. She has a painting near the entrance and says “inspiration comes from places where the natural world meets human interference.”

The Best of Show award went to Niri Cath for “The Park,” an acrylic painting on a panel depicting a parking structure — “an unhappy

replacement for an ancient lake.” Cath wrote: “in my work, I reflect not only on the impact we have on the fragility of nature, but also on the consequences that our attitudes towards the world around us have on our own psyches.” Coloration is low-key and subtle. No way out of this dilemma, it would seem.

First Place was awarded to Randall Steinke for his colorful “Keyhole,” showing a woman trying to spy on someone else, rendered in

bright colors. “I paint in a figurative expressionistic style, using bold, vibrant colors,” he wrote. Bright turquoise, yellows, reds, purples sing out on this and his “Broken.”

Second Place went to Stacy Roberts’ “Hidden Place,” executed in soft pastel. “To me, the labyrinth represented the inner journey with all the convoluted paths and blind alleys,” she wrote.

Third Place was awarded to John Long for “imaginary time,” painted

with acrylic paints on corrugated cardboard. Perhaps a suggestion of tree rings? Oranges, purples, lavender on a mottled blue and green base.

Honorable Mentions included Emily Lamb’s “Enlightenment,’ a classic Greek head, with glistening bits of glass around the open crown and inside, a blown glass orb nestled in an ephemeral bubble “like thoughts contained in a vortex,” Lamb wrote, “representing our inner mind trying to narrow down.” Her technique includes Pate de verre handblown glass. Also winning an Honorable Mention was Elizabeth Morrisette’s “Lean in,” created with multicolored sewn zippers in a form that has collapsed to one side.

This exhibit is fun for a visitor to contemplate as one tries to interpret a given artist’s intentions.

Back in the early Littleton Fine Art Committee days, members hoped that some items from this exhibit would find their way into local homes as holiday gifts. Readers might hold that thought as they visit the Own an Original show. There are some really special pieces there.

Valor girls take 5A championship in volleyball

Eagles beat Rock Canyon 3-0 at Denver Coliseum

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Valor Christian’s girls volleyball team accomplished something that many teams only dream about.

The Eagles defeated Rock Canyon 3-0 to capture the Class 5A state championship on Nov. 12 at the Denver Coliseum and wrap up an 29-0 season.

“The team played amazing,” said coach Jayne McHugh. “I don’t think they even thought about being undefeated. All they wanted to do was play for each other and give it all they had.

“It’s not normal. I kept telling these girls that what they are doing is not normal and to make sure they cherish every moment because it’s fl eeting.”

With Erin McNair, Sasha Cohen, Delaney Russell and Chloe Elarton leading the way, Valor notched an easy 25-12 win in the fi rst set, won the second set 25-19 and had to work hard for a 25-23 win in the third set and the sweep.

“Coming in, everybody wanted to beat us but we did better than everybody else,” said senior

McNair. “It feels real good. We played really good. We played together.”

Elarton was feeling out of this world after winning the state title.

“We played amazing,” she said. “We relied on one another and leaned on each other the entire time. We really played as a team. There was defi nitely a lot of pressure but we handled it very well. We forced each other to handle it. It doesn’t feel real.”

McNair had nine kills in the title match, one more than Grace Langer. Skyla Morgan had seven kills. Taylor Bowman and Langer each had three

blocks. Russell had 17 digs while Elarton had 29 assists and 10 digs.

Coach Angela Nylund-Hanson’s Rock Canyon team (24-5) defeated rival Chaparral 3-1 and downed Cherry Creek 3-2 to advance to the semifi nals where the Jaguars outlasted Grandview, 3-1.

Defending state champion Cherry Creek rallied to beat Cherokee Trail 3-2 in the fi rst round and got past Mountain Vista 3-0 but lost to Rock Canyon 2-3 before being ousted by Rampart 1-3 in the elimination bracket.

Mountain Vista beat Chatfi eld 3-1 but lost to Cherry Creek and Chaparral 3-1.

Heritage lost its fi rst two matches in the tournament, 0-3 to Chaparral and 2-3 to Rampart.

APPLICATION FOR CHANGE OF WATER RIGHTS IN DOUGLAS COUNTY. 2. Purpose of Application. Applicant owns 1.665 cfs (ab solute) of 20.00 cfs of the High Line Ditch (aka High Line-East Plum Creek Ditch) water rights (“High Line Water Rights”). By this Application, Applicant seeks to move the High Line Water Rights’ point quantification on East Plum Creek (“Existing Measuring Point”) decreed in Case Nos. 81CW49, 95CW114, 00CW78, and 09CW166 (“Change Decrees”) to a new location on East Plum Creek (“New Measurement Point”). Maps showing the Existing Measuring Point and the New Measurement Point are attached as Exhib its A and B. The change is necessary because beaver dams have made location of the Existing Measuring Point unsuitable for river administra tion. Applicant does not seek any other changes to the High Line Water Rights. Applicant will continue to operate the High Line Water Rights in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Change Decrees, as amended by this Application, including but not limited to compliance with flow rate and volumetric limits and the satisfaction of return flow obligations. 3. High Line Ditch Water Rights. A. Original Adjudication: District Court, Douglas County, entered on December 10, 1883. i. Legal Description: The High Line Ditch head gate was originally decreed at NE1/4 NE1/4 Sec. 4, T9S, R67W of the 6th P.M., Douglas County. ii. Source: East Plum Creek, tributary to South Platte River. iii. Uses: Irrigation. iv. Appropriation Dates and Amounts: Priority: 57 73 102

B. Previous Changes of the High Line Ditch Wa ter Rights. i. Case No. 81CW49: By the decree entered on December 31, 1984, the consumptive use credits attributable to the High Line Ditch Water Rights (“CU Credits”) were quantified, and the point of diversion was changed to six alternate points of diversion located in the NW1/4 Sec. 34, T8S, R67W of the 6th P.M. (i.e., the Young Wells) for irrigation. Applicant abandoned the six alternate points of diversion by a notice filed in the case dated April 19, 2022. ii. Case No. 95CW114: By the decree entered on June 11, 1996, the High Line Water Rights were further changed to allow for irrigation, storage, and augmentation uses. iii. Case No. 00CW78: By the decree entered on April 22, 2002, the High Line Water Rights were further changed to allow use for augmentation purposes for post-pumping depletions associated with a not nontributary well, pursuant to Case No. 95CW114. Applicant does not use the CU Credits for augmentation pursuant to this decree but may in the future. iv. Case No. 09CW166: By the decree entered on October 2, 2013, the High Line Water Rights were further changed to authorize use for Applicant’s municipal, industrial, exchange, and replacement purposes, including the right to fully consume the CU Credits during the first use; use within Applicant’s existing and future water service area, or any extra-territorial areas in which the Applicant contracts to provide water deliveries; and to store the High Line Water Rights in Chatfield Reservoir. Applicant operates this decree. C. Use of the High Line Ditch Water Rights for Augmentation, Pursuant to Case No. 95CW114. i. Case No. 95CW240: By the decree entered on December 31, 1996, the High Line Water Rights were designated as an augmentation source for post-pumping depletions associated with not nontributary wells, pursuant to Case No. 95CW114. Applicant does not use the CU Credits for augmentation pursuant to this decree but may in the future. ii. Case No. 95CW16: By the decree entered on December 4, 1997, the High Line Wa ter Rights were designated as an augmentation source for post-pumping depletions associated with not nontributary wells, pursuant to Case No. 95CW114. Applicant does not use the CU Credits for augmentation pursuant to this decree but may in the future. iii. Case No. 00CW78: See paragraph 3.B.iii above. D. Existing Measure ment Point Descriptions. Under the terms of the Change Decrees, Applicant is required to measure stream flows in East Plum Creek to determine the physical and legal availability of the High Line Water Rights for Applicant’s changed uses. The measuring point is described several ways in the Change Decrees. Paragraph 6(b) of the decree in Case No. 81CW49 identified the location of the measurement as being “a point on Applicant’s property upstream of the wells described in this decree.” Paragraph 7.A.1 of the decree in Case No. 95CW114 incorporated the location of the measurement by reference to the decree in Case No. 81CW49. Paragraph 11.B. of the decree in Case No. 00CW78 and paragraph 31.A.iii of the decree in Case No. 09CW166 identify the location as being “at a location near the existing bridge across East Plum Creek on the Bell Mountain Ranch Property located in the S1/2 NW1/4 Sec. 34, T8S, R67W, of the 6th P.M.” Applicant be lieves all descriptions were intended to refer to the same location, which are collectively referred to as the Existing Measurement Point. 4. Change of Existing Measurement Point. Applicant seeks to move the Existing Measurement Point to the New Measurement Point, located in the NE1/4 SE1/4 Sec. 22, T8S, R67W, of the 6th P.M., at a point 2620 feet from the south line and 650 feet from the east section line. The UTM coordinates are NAD 83, Zone 13, Easting 511233, Northing 4354541. The New Measurement Point is ap proximately 9,200 feet downstream of the Existing Measurement Point, and there are no intervening diversions or inflows between the points. Upon approval of this Application (or a substitute water supply plan pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92-308(4)), Applicant will utilize the New Measurement Point to measure stream flows in East Plum Creek to determine the physical and legal availability of the High Line Water Rights for Applicant’s changed uses under the Change Decrees. 5. Owners of land upon which structures are or will be located. Applicant. WHEREFORE, Applicant respectfully requests the Court to enter a decree approving the change of the High Line Water Rights as de scribed herein. Number of pages in application: 6, excluding exhibits.

2022CW3157 MARK A VOORHIES AND DIANA L VOORHIES, 5775 Lake Gulch Road, Castle Rock, CO 80104. James J. Petrock, Eric K. Trout, Hayes Poznanovic Korver LLC, 700 17th Street, Suite 1800, Denver, CO 80202.

APPLICATION FOR UNDERGROUND WATER RIGHTS FROM NONTRIBUTARY AND NOTNONTRIBUTARY SOURCES AND APPROVAL OF PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION IN THE NONTRIBUTARY LOWER DAWSON, DENVER, ARAPAHOE, AND LARAMIE-FOX HILLS AQUI FERS, AND THE NOT-NONTRIBUTARY UPPER DAWSON AQUIFER IN DOUGLAS COUNTY.

Subject Property: 32.13 acres generally located in the SW1/4 of Section 11, Township 9 South, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M., Parcel 1, Voorhies Exemption, also known as 5775 Lake Gulch Road, Castle Rock, Douglas County, State of Colorado, as shown on Exhibit A (“Subject Property”). The Applicants are the sole owners of the Subject Property, and no other party has a mortgage or lien interest, therefore no notice was required under C.R.S. § 37-92-302(2)(b). Well Permits: There are currently no wells on the Subject Property. Well permits will be applied for prior to construction of any wells. Source of Water Rights: The Upper Dawson Aquifer is not-nontributary as defined in C.R.S. § 37-90-103(10.7), and the Lower Daw son, Denver, Arapahoe, and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers are nontributary as defined in C.R.S. § 37-90-103(10.5). Estimated Amounts: Applicants estimate the following annual amounts may be available for withdrawal based on a 100-year withdrawal period:

Aquifer Annual Amount (acre-feet)

Upper Dawson (NNT) 11.08

Lower Dawson (NT) 8.72 Denver (NT) 16.40 Arapahoe (NT) 20.74 Laramie-Fox Hills (NT) 9.06

Proposed Uses: Use, reuse, and successive use for domestic, including in-house use, commercial, irrigation, industrial, stockwatering, fire protection, recreation, and augmentation purposes, including storage, both on and off the Subject Property.

Jurisdiction: The Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this application pursuant to C.R.S. §§ 37-90-137(6), 37-92-203(1), 3792-302(2). Summary of Plan for Augmentation: Groundwater to be Augmented: Approximately 1.2 acre-feet per year for 100 years of Upper Dawson Aquifer groundwater. Water Rights to be Used for Augmentation: Return flows from the use of not-nontributary and nontributary groundwater and direct discharge of nontributary groundwa ter. Statement of Plan for Augmentation: The Upper Dawson Aquifer groundwater will be used in one (1) well for in-house use in up to two (2) single-family homes (0.6 acre-feet per year total), irrigation, including home lawn, garden, and trees, of up to 10,000 square-feet (0.5 acre-feet per year total), stockwatering for up to 8 large domestic animals (0.1 acre-feet total), and fire protection, on the Subject Property. Applicants reserve the right to amend the amount and uses without amending the application or republishing the same. Sew age treatment for in-house use will be provided by non-evaporative septic systems. Return flow from in-house use will be approximately 90% of that use, and return flow from irrigation use will be approximately 15% of that use. During pumping Applicants will replace actual depletions pursu ant to C.R.S. § 37-90-137(9)(c.5). Depletions occur to the Cherry Creek stream system and return flows accrue to that stream system and are sufficient to replace actual depletions while the subject groundwater is being pumped. Appli cants will reserve an equal amount of nontributary groundwater underlying the Subject Property to meet post-pumping augmentation requirements. Applicants request the Court approve the above underground water rights and augmentation plan, find that Applicants have complied with C.R.S. § 37-90-137(4) and water is legally available for withdrawal, find there will be no material injury to the owners of or persons entitled to use water un der any vested water right or decreed conditional water right, and grant such other and further relief as is appropriate. 4 pages.

Planet gets a break at Parker store

corner of Parker Road and Parker Square Drive five months ago. The shop sells household and personal care goods from bulk containers as well as reusable items that support a low-waste lifestyle.

Grolbert said of her new venture. “I can help the environment which then, of course, helps people as well.”

BY RACHEL LORENZ SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

The owner of a new store featur ing planet-friendly goods admits she’s not a perfect eco-warrior, and she doesn’t think you have to be either.

Adrienne Grolbert said she’s no torious for forgetting her reusable shopping bags and either juggling an armful of groceries back to her car or taking a single-use plastic bag. But the 37-year-old Parker resident who describes herself as “crunchy-lite” has a passion for helping people minimize what goes into landfills.

Grolbert opened Refillary at the

When customers visit Refillary, they pump lotions, body washes and cleaning solutions from 5-gal lon buckets and 55-gallon drums into containers they’ve brought from home. People can decrease waste by reusing a shampoo bottle or detergent jug, Grolbert said.

“Why not save it and bring it into a place where you can refill it and then reduce a piece of plastic that just ends up in a landfill?” she said.

In addition to running Refillary, Grolbert works full time in the health care industry. Both jobs allow her to make others’ lives a little better, which just feels good, she said.

“I can help people this way too,”

While shopping at Refillary is not as cheap as shopping at Walmart or Costco, Grolbert said she strives to keep the price of her goods comparable to those of brands like Method and Seventh Generation. Product ingredients, which are listed in the store and on the web site, are people and planet friendly. Plus everything in the store is manufactured in the United States. Grolbert started her business with items that have broad appeal like shampoo and multi-surface cleaner. Now she’s getting to know customers and homing in on the particular products that people in Douglas County are looking for. Two of her best sellers are pack age-free bar soap and toothpaste tablets. Recent additions to the store, based on customer requests,

include rose water, witch hazel and refillable candles.

“It is truly an experiment be cause most refill shops, if you look around the country, are in more urban areas,” Grolbert said.

Yet she thinks refilling works for suburbanites too. Especially if it’s accessible.

For Grolbert, accessible means a lot of things. It means a store that’s airy, bright and appealing. Somewhere that doesn’t require a drive into Denver is nice. But most of all, it means a place where everyone understands that life is busy, complicated and imperfect.

“There’s this idea that if you’re not like 100% gung-ho — every thing low waste, zero waste, eco-friendly, whatever — then why bother? That’s the mentality I want to get away from,” Grolbert said.

“If all you can do is come in and refill your hand soap sometimes, that’s awesome.”

Such water will be delivered to the above de scribed “exchange from” locations from such wells through pipelines or existing or intermittent stream channels or topography. Such deliveries will be measured at one or the other end of such pipelines, or measured upon introduction to a stream channel and such reasonable stream loss as the Division Engineer may direct applied there to, and accounted in a manner as reasonably di rected by the Division Engineer. THIRD CLAIMPLAN FOR AUGMENTATION TO REPLACE OUT-OF-PRIORITY CHERRY CREEK SUR

FACE DIVERSIONS INTO RUETER-HESS RES ERVOIR 14. Structure to be augmented: Parker’s Newlin Gulch Aqueduct No. 2 (“NGA2”) Diversion Structure on Cherry Creek, located as described in foregoing paragraph 5.b. 15. Water rights to be used for augmentation: a. LIRF credits as origi nally decreed on July 30, 1992 in Case 83CW348(A) recorded August 5, 1992 at rec. no. 9228306, the Supplemental Decree in Case 83CW348(A) entered March 7, 1995 and record ed April 3, 1995 at rec. no. 9514586, and as con firmed and requirements set out in the LIRF Order in Case 83CW348(A) entered June 14, 2010. i. Type of water rights - LIRF credits from previously decreed reusable water rights as set out in the above mentioned decrees and order in Case 83CW348(A). ii. Location - said LIRF credits ac crue to Cherry Creek within the accrual reach whose downstream end is the north line of Sec. 9, T.6 S., R. 66 W. and whose upstream or north end is the south line of the North 1/4 of Sec. 34, T.6 S., R. 66W of the 6th P.M. iii. The amount of such LIRF credits is determined by Parker’s accounting system as required in said LIRF Order and ap proved by the Division Engineer’s office. iv. Use of such water for augmentation purposes is pro vided at paragraph 28 of the original 83CW348(A) decree and paragraph 7 of the Supplemental De cree in Case 83CW348(A). (This claim is not in tended to limit Parker’s right to add additional LIRFs as augmentation sources as such LIRFs become lawfully available to Parker.) b. Reusable Return flows from Parker’s wastewater treatment plants which originate from storage under the 1985 and 1993 water storage rights of RueterHess Reservoir as decreed in said case 85CW448(A) and nontributary and not nontribu tary Denver Basin aquifer wells in Parker’s well fields as most recently described in the above described well field enlargement decree in Case 06CW179 and pending well field enlargement case 19CW3211. An addition of parcels to such well fields is requested in Parker’s pending appli cation in case 19CW3211 which is in the same

general area and will operate in the same man ner, so Parker reserves the right to add water added to its well fields by the decree to be entered in said case 19CW3211 upon entry of that decree. i. The subject water originates from the wells in Parker’s well field area generally located in T. 6S., R. 66W. as shown in Exhibit B which is a map from the 19CW3211 application. ii. Such water is then collected and delivered by pipes of Parker’s wastewater collection system in the same area, to Parker’s AWT Plants. iii. Augmentation use of such water is provided at paragraph 25 of said 06CW179 decree. c. Senior water diverted through Parker’s alluvial wells under its owner ship of certain interests in the Boss, Gilman, Her zog and J.F. Gardner water rights as quantified, fully described and changed to municipal and other uses by Parker in the decree in Case 95CW039 entered August 13, 1997 and recorded August 25, 1997 at rec. no. 9746332. i. Type of water rights: senior rights changed to municipal use for diversion at Parker’s alluvial wells. ii. Lo cation of wells: Total of 24 alluvial wells as listed in paragraph 15.a of said 95CW039 as supplement ed by the APD wells listed in paragraph 13.d of the decree in Case 01CW60 dated June 30, 2006 as recorded July 3, 206 at rec. no. 2006056119, located generally along the course of Cherry Creek, subject to the requirement in said Case 01CW60 that Parker “may construct and operate no more than twelve alluvial wells to withdraw the priorities described in cases 79CW176, 83CW346, 83CW348(A), 84CW180, 85CW200(A), 85CW448(A) and 95CW039.” The northern most well is CC-2 in Sec. 16, and the southernmost well is in Sec 27, all in T.6S., R.66 W. of the 6th P.M. iii. Source of water is the allu vium of Cherry Creek. iv. Appropriation Dates and maximum flow rates are: Boss July 30, 1869, 0.5 cfs; Gillman Feb. 28, 1880, 1.0 cfs; Herzog Sep. 10, 1883, 2.44 cfs and J. F. Gardner, Dec. 18, 1877, 3.00 cfs, with additional flow rate and volu metric limitations as set out in said 95CW039 de cree. v. Use for all augmentation purposes is de creed in paragraph 15.b of said 95CW039 decree. 16. Complete statement of plan for aug mentation. Litigation was initiated against Parker by the State and Division Engineers in Case 19CW3004 in this Court based upon concerns regarding inadvertent out of priority diversions by Parker at NGA2. That litigation was resolved by the Stipulated Settlement Agreement filed in that case on April 12, 2019 and approved by this Court by Order Approving Stipulated Settlement Agree ment and Entering Final Judgment as entered April 15, 2019. Paragraph 9.b of that Settlement provides: Unless recurring out-of-priority diver sions from Cherry Creek have fully ceased during

the third year of such substitute water supply plan, Parker shall file an application for approval of a plan for augmentation with the Water Court to augment such diversions. For the purposes of this paragraph, “recurring” shall mean out-of-priority diversions on more than three (3) days in a con secutive three (3) month period. Parker shall pro vide a draft of such plan for augmentation to the State Engineer for review and comment at least 30 days before filing the same with the Water Court. a. As long as the CDPHE does not allow direct connection of Parker AWT discharge to the NGA2 pumping plant, Parker cannot guarantee that there will be no inadvertent out-of-priority di versions. Accordingly, Parker is requesting ap proval of this plan for augmentation to replace the series of substitute water supply plans (“SWSP”). This plan for augmentation is intended to operate in the same way as the SWSPs. b. The SWSPs have been approved by the State Engineer on July 26, 2019, July 20, 2020, May 10, 2021 and August 17, 2022. The most recent of these ap provals is attached hereto as Exhibit C and is in corporated herein by this reference. By way of brief summary, it provides that: i. It replaces de pletions that result from inadvertent out-of-priority diversions at Newlin Gulch Aqueduct No. 2 (“NGA2”) (WDID 0800802). The NGA2 was con structed to deliver surface water via the Diversion Structure on Cherry Creek through a pumping plant known as the Cherry Creek Pump Station (“CCPS”) to Rueter-Hess Reservoir. The CCPS is also used to pump water to Rueter-Hess Reser voir from water that was previously stored in Parker’s Regional Pond, including reusable efflu ent from Parker’s advanced wastewater treat ment (“AWT”) plants, water pumped from Park er’s alluvial wells via Newlin Gulch Aqueduct No. 1 (“NGA1”), and Denver Basin water. As a result, the CCPS can be operated during times Parker’s water rights on Cherry Creek are out-of-priority. ii. Parker’s discharge permit from the CDPHE re quires Parker to discharge its reusable effluent from Regional Pond 1 into Cherry Creek approxi mately 30 feet above the CCPS. The reusable effluent discharged into Cherry Creek is then rediverted back into the CCPS for pumping to Ruet er-Hess Reservoir. This operation is automated through Parker’s supervisory control and data acquisition (“SCADA”) system, however due to the difference in the size of the pumps at the CCPS and the pumps at the Regional Pond, it is difficult to regulate pumping such that all of the reusable water pumped from the Regional Pond is captured but no out-of-priority water from Cher ry Creek is diverted. Therefore this SWSP replac es any out-of-priority water that is inadvertently captured by Parker’s required operations at the

iii. Due to

CDPHE

a short dis tance, a methodology for full replacement of any out-of-priority diversions that occurred at the CCPS has been previously established and ap proved by the Division Engineer as part of Parker accounting. Therefore, the previously approved accounting operations for the Rueter-Hess Res ervoir augmentation plan are also covered by the SWSP. iv. Parker provides daily accounting in cluding but not limited to diversions, depletions, replacement sources and river calls) on a monthly basis. In addition, Parker tracks the daily flow from the Regional Pond and other sources which are not subject to administration, the daily volume pumped to Rueter-Hess Reservoir, and the daily volume of diversions from Cherry Creek whether those diversions are in-priority or out-of-priority. c. All of these provisions shall apply to the request ed plan for augmentation.

ADDITIONAL GENER AL ALLEGATIONS 17. Use of water. All water claimed herein will be transported via suitable stream channels, reservoirs, pumps and pipelines for all municipal purposes of Parker Water and Sanitation District including domestic, industrial, commercial, manufacturing, stock watering, rec reational, piscatorial, fish and wildlife, fire protec tion, street washing, hydroelectric power produc tion and will also be used for exchange, replacement, and augmentation at any location where it is physically available.
